Strong season finale for men's rugby team

By John Harlow | May 9, 2002

On a crystal clear, beautiful New Hampshire spring day, the Dartmouth Rugby Football Club ended its official Spring season by beating Northeastern University 27-10, but the game was actually much more lopsided than the result would indicate.

Dartmouth enters ECAC tourney looking for gold

By David Sherzer | May 8, 2002

Will the third time be a charm? That is what the Dartmouth softball team is hoping as it looks forward to a third consecutive appearance in the East Coast Athletic Conference Tournament, which takes place next Saturday and Sunday at Soldier Field in Cambridge, Mass. The conference confirmed widely held speculation when it announced the field for this year's tournament early yesterday afternoon from the league headquarters on Cape Cod. All four participants are from the Ivy League.

Men's Lacrosse: Battle for Ivy Cellar Comes Down to Final Game

By Brad Limpert | May 3, 2002

John Travolta won't be there and the players won't be wearing bell-bottoms, but the men's lacrosse team will have its own little version of "Saturday Night Fever" tomorrow in Boston. The Big Green (6-6, 0-5 Ivy) hits the road for its season finale under the lights at Harvard (7-7, 0-5 Ivy). While the Ivy League championship will be settled down the road between Brown and Princeton, don't tell either the Big Green or the Crimson that this game doesn't matter. Saturday night's contest pits two teams searching for their first Ivy League win, trying to end their season with a winning record and not too mention the bitterness of the Harvard-Dartmouth rivalry. If any team can sympathize with Dartmouth's roller coaster ride of a season, it would undoubtedly be Harvard.

Green Get Going In Late Season Rally for Top

By John Riccio | May 3, 2002

As John Belushi so demonstratively states in "Animal House", "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." This motto could have been the new battle cry of the Big Green baseball team during the past week's slew of home games. With their backs against the wall, the Big Green men triumphed in four out of five games this past week while displaying a determination and perseverance not shown yet this season.

An '02 makes a grudging journey to the Boston Marathon

By Page Kyle | May 2, 2002

I swear I never wanted to run a marathon. As far as I was concerned, running a marathon was one of those things you can always do if you find your life too boring: train real hard for several months, push yourself to new levels of exertion and discover something worthwhile about yourself in the process of resolving the underlying boredom or lameness complex.

Birchall and Pisacano end golf careers

By Dan Weinberg | May 1, 2002

The Dartmouth men's and women's golf teams wrapped up their seasons this past weekend with outings at the Rhode Island Spring Invitational and Northeast Championship, respectively. The men truly had a chance to leave an impression on the national stage after a solid team set at the Ivy Championships, but they let the second round get away from them, finishing eighth of 18 in Portsmouth, R.I. Co-captain Lee Birchall '02 carried his team one last time, shooting 80-78 -- 158 to place 17th overall in his final collegiate event.

ACC lax powers coming to town

By Elliot Olshansky | April 26, 2002

After three Ivy League titles, three NCAA tournaments, two NCAA quarterfinal appearances, numerous All-Ivy and All-America honors and a trip to Australia, the seniors of the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team already have plenty to celebrate this weekend, as they prepare to play their final home games at Scully-Fahey Field.

Softball pours on Providence in five

By David Sherzer | April 26, 2002

It was a miserable day to be a Providence Friar. The softball team from Rhode Island's capital city traveled 175 miles to Hanover to play only four-and-a-half innings in a torrential downpour and get crushed, 8-0, by the hot-hitting Dartmouth Big Green. The second half of the doubleheader at Sachem Field was cancelled because of the conditions. If the Big Green was bothered by the driving rain that at times seemed to be moving sideways because of the gusting wind, it didn't appear that way.
